I owned and operated a retail toy/game company that had been in business since 1994. I purchased the business in 1999, owned it through the Pokemon craze, and built it into a solid business that was independent of my personal presence. I sold the company at the end of 2004 to pursue freelance writing full time. I write *business plans intended to acquire startup capital for new businesses *business plans for loans to finance growth capital for existing businesses *operations manuals *franchise manuals *training manuals *employee handbooks
